The main news in oil and gas industry was brought by the State Geological Service revoking more than 40 licenses for oil and gas fields exploration across Ukraine. This is the most upscale review of licenses for the last 10 years. 5 companies suffered as a result of officials’ actions. Another important news is the refusal of Ukraine to buy gas from Russia, which led to one more supply «shut off» by Russians. Also, the issue of EBRD loan for gas purchases in amount of $300 remains unresolved.
